Product Information
Full details
The ESP Splicing Needle is an essential tool for carp anglers who frequently work with leadcore leaders, offering a precise, latch-based mechanism to create streamlined and secure spliced joints. It is ideal for those who prioritize clean, professional-grade rig assembly, though users should be mindful that the ultra-fine latch mechanism requires a steady hand to avoid bending under excessive force.

FAQs
Can I use these for large hard baits?
These needles are designed for small baits like sweetcorn and soft 10mm boilies; they may bend if used on hard, large baits.
How many needles are in a pack?
Each pack contains three ESP Splicing Needles.
What is the primary material?
They are manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
Are these needles suitable for thick leader materials?
They are specifically designed for splicing leadcore; they may not be ideal for very thick, braided mainlines.
How do I prevent the latch from snagging?
Keep the needle clean and free of bait residue, and ensure you pull the needle through the leadcore in one smooth motion.
Troubleshooting
Latch fails to close properly
Check for debris inside the latch channel and rinse with fresh water. Ensure the latch isn't slightly bent.
Needle tip is bending
Use the needle with lighter pressure and ensure you are not piercing hard or overly resistant materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your ESP Splicing Needles, always ensure you are using the correct amount of force when feeding the needle through the core material. Avoid using the needle to force through extremely hard or frozen baits, as this may strain the latch mechanism.
After each trip, rinse the needles in fresh water to remove any debris or bait residue, especially after fishing in brackish or silty conditions. Dry thoroughly before storing them in your tackle box to prevent moisture accumulation. It is recommended to store these in a hard-case needle wallet to protect the fine tips from bending.
